My Panera Office

Posts Tagged ‘Panera food’

It has happened a lot of times, just like this. I was caught way from the office without my laptop. But, my trusty cell phone was in my pocket. Sell phone: wow, what a name for what that device has become. It has all my appointments on it, reminds of them. I keep all manner of notes on it. And, it is able to connect to the Internet from a hotspot or wifi connection.

So way from the office and my digital desktop, I just pulled into Panera Bread, paid for one of their never ending cups of java, drew it from the thermos and sat down. I few finger swipes over my phone and I was on the website checking information that I needed for my next appointment.

Who can continue to be upset, with coffee at my finger tips, pastry in the air and the world at my fingertips. I even used my Skype app to talk to someone in England, free, or chose to it, I did pay for the coffee.

Panera Bread cafe, restaurant, bakery…Oh, what do we call it.  I call it my office away from the office, office away from home.

Panera has been a meeting place for the whole range of visitors, ranging from the casual teenagers to the busy businessmen. I have seen them there.  I have had my friends sitting across from me in the flesh, too.  But, like many, I often sit there with my laptop open, smelling the fresh pastry, sipping my coffee and chatting with my friends on the screen.

Some call them “virtual friends”, but those are the ones who do not know how close we have grown once again to old school mates, for work colleagues and workshop attendees.  Then there are the scores that we have never seen, yet due to where they live, their interests, or the fact that they are friends of our friends, we have met only on this screen in front of me.

Be they Facebook or Twitter friends, or LinkedIn, ahha professional, network partners (got to be careful with the vocabulary here, they are from the workplace), I am so thankful that I can connect with them from this my office bakery over Panera Bread’s most often great, free wifi.

Panera Bread enjoys the recognition of being one of the largest dine-in, bakery chains in the United States, a leader in the field of specialty bread, and that special way they showcase their sweet wares make any morning with my friends special.

There have been cases when our mobile phone internet applications have left us stranded when we need it the most. At these times it is Wi-Fi and free networking zones which have helped us through and to help our brains to cool off and release the tension. A hot coffee has worked wonders and bread from one of my favourite places, Panera Bread does the rest of the job. Panera Bread has made it so convenient for people to enjoy a hot cup of coffee and work or network with free wifi service.

Morning is one of the best time of the day for any person to enjoy coffee and soft, amazing tasting bread at Panera Bread while finishing all your work in a jiffy without paying anything for the wifi service. It just makes the day for anyone. A cup of coffee helps to get rid of all the mental stress you might be going through at times and having it at Panera Bread in that amazing environment which just to your liking, not loud and absolutely soothing along with the best bread available makes you forget all the tension you were going through just some time ago when your office network suddenly crashed.

Panera Bread has been serving great bread and coffee to thousands of people everyday for a long time. It has now made its mark a permanent one in the minds of people with the introduction free wifi service to help people not miss any of their work or any fun even when they are at Panera Bread.

Panera Bread has not only set standards in bread making and coffee but also its service but now it has spread to new limits with mixing of free networking zones for people. It has set a benchmark in add-on services at bread and coffee houses for others to follow.
